Western Mass. Swimming and Diving Championships cancelled; state qualifiers advance directly to states

The latest weather-related postponement has become official, but not without an unexpected solution.

The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association's web site made the following announcement: "Due to the impending snowstorm, all Boys’ and Girls’ Sectional Swimming and Diving Championships, scheduled for this weekend, have been CANCELLED. We regret that facility and time constraints prohibit the re-scheduling of these events.

All State qualifiers will move forward to the State Championships on the weekend of 16-17 February. Best of luck to all.''
